Yes, but that is entirely due to the lower rating on the tires the LT1 gets from the factory. Having those skinny 1-pot rear brakes sure doesn't help either, but that alone wouldn't translate to a...

Very interesting, thank you. They say the ZL1 and the 1LE attained practically the same speeds in the front straight, but it's "only" 155 mph, the extra drag from the aero bits probably kicks in much...

I will say that the 10L90 shifts faster than my 8L90, so the delay isn't as bad on the auto ZL1, but it's still there.

It should be the same, except for the attached strap that is missing on the ZL1 1LE for some weird reason.
